Maybe a coincidence but maybe the TPS has packed up? I recently experianced similar symptoms to a 318is I look after for someone. Idled fine, but wouldnt rev. TPS has a potentiometer inside for throttle position, that failed. Have you got the fuel pipes on the right way round?

does sound like a faulty TPS, or possibly the dizzy.
i timed it up and checked it bout 6 times, wheres the TPS and how do you check it.
and the fuel pipes aron the right way, i checked.
its starting to get me down now, next stop scrappy if i cant sort it.

dizzy on an IS? behave! still worth checking the exhaust cam sprocket is on correctly as the cam sensor comes off this. Cam timing definitely bang on?stevotheevo wrote:does sound like a faulty TPS, or possibly the dizzy.
